I love your website and I
I love your website and I read it everyday. I agree with you on every point you make. We are selling American out to the lowest bidder. It has to stop!!!
I get the domino effect all to well. I live in Flint, Michigan where GM was born. We have lost over 80,000 GM jobs over the past few years. Our town looks like a war zone were a bomb went off.
My family helped build GM. My grandfather started working for GM in 1928. He was there during the "Sit Down Strike". My father, step father and father in law all retired from GM. My husband currently works at Flint Power Train North as a Skilled Trades Shop Committeeman. My daughter works there as a contract worker. We now have 4 generations that helped build that company. We also currently have 7 other family members working for them or are secondary workers.
We have to stop this unfair trade and trade dumping. The current Free Trade practice is killing this country as we knew it. If this continues we will now longer be a country. We will just be an extension of China....
